IR Web Report
IRWebReport.com was founded by Dominic Jones in February 2001 to promote best practices for online investor relations communications. All articles on IR Web Report are unpaid editorial. If we write about any company with which we have a business relationship, either directly through sponsorship or indirectly through consulting services, we fully disclose the relationship in the article itself. Our standards of disclosure are higher than any other publication or association in the IR industry. We disclose both direct and indirect relationships. Sponsors are identified as such in the right sidebar. Anyone is able to see our sponsorship fees. Without sponsors, we would not be able to continue publishing on a regular schedule. Please support independent content in the IR industry.
